The chairwoman of Housing First is hoping other community members will get involved.

A rumour the volunteer board had resigned is false, said Rebekah Wetmore, who added the other members of the board – Kimberly Smith, Duska Poirier and Penni Burrell – were also still in their roles. The only exception is John Apfeld, whose resignation the board accepted Feb. 26.

However, according to the organization’s bylaws, half of the board members’ terms end at the upcoming annual general meeting.

“Some of the board members, myself included, have acknowledged that, after our term is over, we will not be renewing our positions,” Wetmore said.
